4. The major
 Everyone is aware that there is no shortage of chocolate companies.
difference between Runakay Chocolate and all the others is our commitment to
helping the Ecuadorian farmer and the community they live in. We will employ
farmers who will harvest the cocoa beans and make the chocolate right on their
land.
 Runakay Chocolate is dedicated to:
1. Assisting the Ecuadorian communities that are settled on the north side of the
Parque Nacional Yasuni in the Ecuadorian Jungle by creating job opportunities
and a better standard of life without the need of selling their land.
2. Making quality 100% organic chocolate bars from Ecuador. Some bars will
contain dried exotic fruit that are not well known in the United States such as
Maracuyá (passion fruit), Mora (Blackberry), and Naranjilla (Little Orange).
3. Supporting fair trade practices.

5.  Employ farmers who will harvest the cocoa beans and make the
chocolate right on their land, not in a factory. We will guarantee that the
farmers are paid fair wages in accordance with the Fair Trade practices.
 All of the fruits are 100% natural and sun dried with lemon juice. There
are no additives, preservatives, colorants, chemicals or sugar added to
them.

6. Competitive Landscape
 At Runakay Chocolate, we are in a class of our own when compared to
other companies who manufacture Ecuadorian raw chocolate. Our target
market consists of individuals who are health conscious, appreciate quality
chocolate and stand behind socially responsible principles.
 We will reach out market by doing the following:
1. We know there are approximately 1400 schools in NYC. There are
parent associations that hold candy sales 1-2 times a school year. We
will ask to speak at as many associations meetings as possible to gain
their business
2. We will take our product to chocolate trade shows in the tri-state
area.
3. We researched and found that Trader Joe’s does not sell chocolate
from Ecuador. For this reason, through their website we would
contact them and send a new vendor inquiry to their Merchandising
Team, for their review and consideration.

7.  Our bars are competitively priced for our market:
1. 100% organic 1.5 oz. dark chocolate bar $6.50.

Twitter and other social media outlets. On a smaller scale, we will
promote ourselves to fundraising events, groups such as the PTA (Parent
Teacher Association), green markets, and chocolate trade shows.

farmers make the chocolate from the cocoa beans that grow on their
farms. They are not paid much for the hard work they do. By purchasing this
candy bar, you are helping to support an Ecuadorian farmer’s family.
 The back of all our candy wrappers serve as an educational tool to
